This site is devoted to the genealogy of the Marko families that
emigrated to the USA from Cziganyos (also spelled as Cziganyocz and Ciganyocs)
[Search for "Tsyhanivtsi, Ukraine" at
https://maps.google.com/]
in Ung County, Hungary. The town
later became known as Ciganovce in Czechoslovakia and then still later as
Cyhanivci, now located in western Ukraine just east of
Uzhgorod
(informational site: Old Ungvar) in the
Transcarpathian region. The brothers Andrew and Paul Marko emigrated with
their wives between 1885 and 1893 to Luzerne County in northeastern
Pennsylvania. They may have made several trips back and forth between
Europe and the U.S. The Marko's were Carpatho-Rusyns (also known as
Rusyns or Ruthenians). Like most Rusyns, they were Greek Catholics.
